Last week I finally wrote all my passwords in a crypted org file, using
properties and column mode.

This is very nice, and taking inspiration from the wonderful
org-contacts, I decided to open on github org-passwords.

https://github.com/AndreaCrotti/org-passwords

This VERY simple initial version already basically works, asking name of
the service, username and password and storing it in a (hopefully)
cypted file.

Now it would be nice to make it easy to fetch and modify passwords.
Another thing which I'm a bit "annoyed" is that keeping crypted files
under git, I never see the real diff since the files are binary.

Do maybe some of you found a way to see a text diff even on crypted
files?

PS. anyone is welcome to send suggestions/patches also to me directly if
    interested...

No idea... but my searching yielded:
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2456954/git-encrypt-decrypt-remote-repository-files-while-push-pull
- http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/Transparently-encrypt-repository-contents-with-GPG-td2470145.html

They both seem to be speaking about the same thing. Not really
understanding it all, but it sounds like a locally kept "filter" of
some sort that runs gpg -d on whatever files you pull and gpg -ea on
whatever you push.
